Compass rose on clipboard.

Maybe a compass rose on the clipboard, activated by right clicking and pressing "Compass Rose".

Just for those of us who are directionally challenged.  :aok

Would be useful, although I've grown accustomed to not needing one.

Sorry, but why do you need this again? Isn't 'up' always north on the map?

You fly East, you're tired, maybe a squaddie is saying something weird because he is drunk. You may need a little assistance.  :aok

Normally I would agree with this logic, but.... Just today I had to ask a squaddie why his tank was moving in the complete opposite direction of the town he was going to defend. A momentary lapse of reason I guess.

I don't understand. Are you saying you can't tell which end of the airplane icon on the map is the front?

I've always wanted one, if for nothing else, just for looks.
